T TIIE OMAITA DAILY DEE: FKIDAY, JULY 28, 1005. f ) .0Y WANTS HIS MONEY BACK nrchaier oi Tiz Title on T. It. 0. A. Froperty Bun tbt County. DID NOT KNOW Of THE It GAL EXEMPTION Fays Three Thousand Dollars lor the Title gevea Wars A(, Over looking; I m porta at I'olnt of t.mvr. Judge RedlcK of th district court will have up for consideration today one of the moit peculiar suit of Ita kind ever tried In this county, or probably In any i.tltcr. The plaintiff I Joseph W. Brews4er, who In November, IMrt bought a .as title on the presvnt Young Mm'i Christian as sociation headquarter. The tax title was bought at public sale, without protest, everybody evidently having overlooked the fact that the property was exempt under the law of Nebraska. On a suit brought In the Vnlted States rourt Judge Munger of the federal court declared the tax levy of 1S0T void so far at It applied to the Toung Men's Christian as sociation property, or that port of the same used fur religious and educational purposes. Now Mr. Hrewster sues the county of Douglns to get back 13.000, ap proximately, the amount paid for the title when he bought. Man- very nice points of law are raised In this rase slid It promises to establish a precedent. County Attorney Slahnugh Is resisting the plaintiff's cinlm on the broud ground Of caveat emptor "let the purchaser beware" In other words, that every man has knowledge of the law. Judge Blabaugh holds that Brewster made a voluntary payment, purely, for his own purposes, and must accept the consequences thereof, which In this case means the loss of the money paid. ARMY OF AGENTS AT OFFICE Representative of Typewriters Troop Down on Assistant Post' aaaste After Reading; The Dee. Assistant Postmaster Woodard was rather astounded Thursday morning upon his ar rival at his office to find a room full of typewriting, machine agents lying In wait for him. He waa unable to comprehend the situation until several of them approached him with a clipping from The Bee of Wednesday evening announcing the Infor mation that rostmaeter Palmer, who waa In Washington, had secured an order for ' the purchase of a new typewriter for the Omaha postoftlce. Representatives from every typewriting agency in the city were there and each insisted upon extolling the virtues of his special make of machine. The genial assistant postmaster waa over whelmed and finally compromised on a peace basis by securing a protocol until Postmaster Palmer arrived, which, he aid -confidentially, will be at t p. m. Fri day, at which time Captain Palmer wfll be delighted to see all the agents and test their . machines. It probable the ma chines will be tested In the map room at the top Of the federal building. Colonel C. E. Llewellyn probably will be selected as chief testing operator and Major Barrows, Immigrant Agent Mansfield and United States Commissioner Anderson as Judges and time keepers.

WAR IN ORIENT HOT A ClRC'uMSTANCE Juas;e Berkn Aetlnsr a Penee Cew anlasloaer Will leek te Aajaat Differences Friday Moraine. Three dead ducks, one battle-scarred rooster, one morose bulldog and th arrest of John Hear Is the summary of a battle royal that occurred Thursday morning at Fifteenth and Yates street between a kennel of dogs owned by Hear and a large assortment of poultry owned by Mrs. Wil son, a neighbor. On complaint of the woman Officer Dovereeee went to the scene of the conflict snd arrested Hear on a charge of malicious destruction of prop erty. According to well authenticated reports from the front, Thursday morning's con flict was such as to cast a heavy shadow over Kouropatkln and Oyama's little brush at Mukden. There Is said to have been bad feeling for some time between Hear' dogs and Mr. Wilson' feathered tock. Both par ties have garden patches and the report Is the dogs have trespassed on the Wilson patch, while the chickens, ducks and geese have wandered onto the Hear domain. Thursday morning matters came to a head and the various peace plenipotentiaries of th neighborhood took to the high ground and watched the mlxup. About 8 a. m. one of the bulldog met one of the duck on neutral ground and It wa at once evident that the reserves would have to be called out. The dog chased the duck onto the Wilson territory and Immediately a aolld phalanx of ducks rushed for the canine, which made a flank movement for his kennel, with th duck regiment In hot pursuit. Commanders Both Maimed. At this Juncture Hear, who I without a nose, came out of his house, while Mrs. Wllrsn, who lost one of her legs In a rail road accident, tssumed command of her forces. Dogs, ducks, chicken and geese were then ordered to charge. There was an Instant rush of bull dogs and poultry for common ground. From the top of his dog kennel Hear directed his forces, while the woman took note from th roof of her poultry house. For awhile It was hard for noncombatant to distinguish between dogs and ducks or barks and squawks. The turbulence and din of battle became louder and louder. On a distant kopje several cows ceased their graslng and looked won dering! y at the strange sight. Then a number of humane neighbors cooled the ardor of the belligerents with a tub of Ice water. The dogs were pulled away and taken prisoners of war. "I regret to report the death of three ducks and minor Injuries to two roosters," stated Mr. Wilson to Officer Devereese, In the paclfio terms of the Immortal Lord Roberta. One of the Hear dog sustained slight abrasions in a foot-to-foot encounter with one of Mrs. Wilson's fighting roosters. In police court Friday morning Judge Berks will Set as Joint peace commissioner and pass on the case, so It will not have to go to The Hague.
